A look at the archives for this list will uncover considerable discussion of various mechanisms for passing all sorts of information about user & client preferences and capabilities, and little consensus on how or even whether this should be done. Various of these efforts will apparently proceed as efforts separate from getting the HTTP/1.1 spec stable. Without disagreeing with the idea that this would be usefull, I for one would really prefer that it not be considered as a part of the 1.1 spec. -- Scott Lawrence EmWeb Embedded Server <lawrence@agranat.com> Agranat Systems, Inc.
